Greywater System FAQs
What water can be used in a greywater system?
Greywater usually comes from showers, basins and laundries. Toilet water and kitchen sink water are
not used because of hygiene and grease issues. Your plumber can explain which fixtures in your home
are appropriate under local regulations and the type of system you select.
Do I need council approval for a greywater system?
Rules differ between states and councils. Some simple diversion systems may only need a licensed
plumber to install them, while more complex or treated systems can require approval. When you post
your job, ask tradies about local requirements so they can design the system accordingly.
Is greywater safe for all plants?
Many garden plants cope well with greywater when used correctly, but some delicate or edible plants
may be less suited. Soaps and detergents also matter. Tradies can outline general guidelines and you
can discuss any specific garden areas you want to protect or avoid watering with greywater.
How often do greywater systems need servicing?
Simple diversion devices mainly need filters checked and cleaned. Systems with pumps or treatment
units usually need more regular maintenance. Your installer can explain typical servicing intervals
and what you can do yourself between professional visits.
